. .I TUGCO'S STATUS REPORT l

By its order of May 13, 1980, the Licensing Board further I extended the procedural dates.in this proceeding to permit and encourage settlement negotiations among-the parties. A writ' ten i

status report was directed to be delivered to the Board by each party by 4:00 p.m. June 9, 1980.

Since its May 9, 1980 status report, TUGCO has been engaged in extensive efforts designed to provide the basis for complete settlement of all issues in this proceeding, or, failing that, to provide the basis on which to narrow the issues to be determined by this Board.

These efforts have resulted in a definitive settlement agreement with CSW, copies of which will be made available on June 10, 1980. Moreover, TUGCO has reached substantial agree-ment with the Staff on license conditions designed to remove any concern on the part of the Staff that-TUGCO's activities are 1

a or would create or maintain a situation inconsistent with the antitrust laws.- Further, TUGCO believes that any remaining e

issues with the Staff can be resolved within the next two weeks.

Should-this occur, all of the parties to the Comanche Peak proceeding will;.have withdrawn 'their. participation adverse to TUGCOcin accordance.with the terms of settlement agreements, with the exception of the " Department of Justice.

No final agreement has been reached with the Department, although it has expressed a willingness to continde discussions l l

to resolve any differences which may' exist. Due to TUGCO's l l

efforts in the past 30 days with CSW and the NRC. Staff, insuf- )

T l ficient time has been available for significant progress to be made with the. Department.. In light of the status of negotiations i with the Department, TUGCO still cannot' represent to this Board that a complete settlement will be achieved. Nonetheless, in l

order to maximize the opportunities to resolve the issues before this Board without the necessity of protracted hearings, TUGCO respectfully requests that procedural dates be extended for another 30 days, with the admonition that all remaining parties including TUGCO work diligently"to resolve or narrow the issues.

to be determined by the Board. .A prehearing conference should be scheduled at the end of the 30-day period.
